Does library 2.0 really exist? We talk about it all the time and we work on putting libraries into social media platforms and on creating library 2.0, however, does the movement really exist? And are libraries really benefiting from it like we think they are? I found this interesting Google knol that addresses exactly this issue.

Here are some reasons why I think that Library 2.0 does exist-

1. Libraries are embracing social networking or web 2.0 technologies with facebook fan pages, twitter accounts, youtube channels and more.

2. Many patrons have interacted with or used library 2.0 properties in the past.

Here are some reasons why Library 2.0 does not exist-

1. Many if not most libraries are not getting what they need or expected to get from their social networking or library 2.0 activities.

2. Many libraries are behind the times on how to use library 2.0 effectively.

So what do you think is library 2.0 a myth, a legend or a fact?
